Atisreal has launched an employee incentive scheme which rewards staff with £20,000 net for each fee-earning director level hire they initiate.

The European property consultancy owned by French Bank BNP Paribas, launched The Priority Club scheme in response to high levels of competition within the UK property market where other agencies offer employees large bonuses for head hunting directors from competitors.

Mark England, chief executive at Atisreal, said: "The buoyancy of the current property market demands that companies think beyond the normal means of traditional retirement practices, in sourcing experienced, senior level employees. The Priority Club has been introduced as a way of encouraging our employees, at all levels across the business, to take an active role in growing and developing Atisreal as a company."
